Tivoli Radio Silenz headphones

Noise-canceling headphones tend to be plastic through and through. The Radio Silenz ($160) are made with walnut, cherry, or black ash. It's no gimmick—the wood insulates the speakers for enhanced sound quality.

The pearl-snap Kirby ($115) is more than meets the eye: this button-down shirt-jacket is made from moisture-wicking nylon. It's ideal for everything from spring skiing to cool-weather hiking to knocking around town on a windy day.

Herschel's packs are cool enough for your teenage nephew for the same reasons they're just right for you: simplicity and style. The top-loading City backpack ($55) is made of waxed cotton and polyester, and features a magnetic closure.

Dale of Norway Sochi Sweater

We're not sure why the Norwegian national Olympic team has an official sweater, but we get why they had Dale of Norway ($318) make it. The handcrafted Sochi sweater is sewn from pill-resistant, 28-micron wool, which is just as warm as merino but has that old-school ski-sweater look.
